Updated Feb 17, 2021;
Penn State University Police are investigating two racially motivated “Zoom-bombings” that targeted two separate diversity events held Monday.
The unwanted hijacking of a Zoom video conference call at the two different events held at University Park and Penn State Brandywine are the latest of similar incidents under investigation by the University Police and Public Safety’s Criminal Investigations Unit and Penn State’s Office of Information Security.
In both instances, the Zoom-bomber was dressed as a police officer while displaying what appears to be a firearm, Penn State officials said in a press release.
